Overview
Overview
Students at Plantation High are called "Colonels." The original school logo was a graphic of a traditional Southern colonel—the equivalent of Colonel Reb, mascot of the University of Mississippi. In the early 1990s, amidst concerns of racial insensitivity, the logo was changed to a large red letter C, similar to the Chicago Bears logo. Plantation High has an FCAT school grade of "C" since 2014–2023 [2021 not assessed]. The school's attendance zone includes Plantation and a portion of Sunrise.
